Review of User:Petra Pollins/sandbox
2 points: 1. While composing the page on Hermona Soreq I mistakenly uploaded the wrong image (HermonaSoreq.tif). I would like this image deleted. 2. I don't recall during the writing process that I entered the title of the page - it should be: Hermona Soreq Petra Pollins (talk) 11:05, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) That's commons:File:HermonaSoreq.tif and would have to be deleted at the Wikimedia Commons; see their Deletion policy. I don't think they usually delete freely licensed images on the request of the uploader, though.
 * 2) I have moved the draft to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hermona Soreq, the preferred location for drafts awaiting review. However, it currently cites only primary sources such as Soreq's own university's website or those of organizations she's affiliated with. Press releases are not considered reliable. To establish her notability we need reliable third-party sources that cover her in some detail, such as newspaper articles about her or peer-reviewed papers (written by others, not by herself!) discussing her work. Without such sources we cannot accept the article. Huon (talk) 14:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

resubmitting
I cannot figure out how to resubmit my article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Academic Advising for the Psychology Department at Ball State University that has been declined after I edit it. help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haleystreby2013 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I've re-added the old "submission declined" message which both serves as a historical record and has instructions for resubmission: "When you are ready to resubmit, click here." That said, the draft's sources are still insufficient to establish that this is a notable program; without evidence of significant third-party coverage, such as non-local newspaper articles about this program, we cannot accept the submission.

Ok I can understand that. The information on the page is what I received from Kim Taylor, who runs the ARC. Maybe it is not notable but it is good information straight from the authority. This is for a class project. I don't want to just try to add it to the Ball State Individual page. The only other thing I have is the personal research project that I and a few group members did with the program to determine satisfaction with the program.Haleystreby2013 (talk) 18:41, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia cannot accept original research such as your own research project's result, and notability requires significant third-party coverage. If such coverage does not exist, this doesn't sound like an appropriate topic for a Wikipedia article to me. Huon (talk) 20:43, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Katherine Westphal
I'm new at Wikipedia. Please help me understand why my references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability. Thank you. Sdruth270192103 (talk) 22:38, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * While I believe there was some misunderstanding, quite a few of your references are primary sources such as Westphal's own writings or an exhibition catalog. Wikipedia content should be based on third-party sources instead. And I cannot tell what "Ramsey, p. 22" is. Huon (talk) 02:12, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
